We believe that an innovate, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achevement of all our children.

Our Sports Funding will enable us to continue and extend our provision through employing additional sports professionalls, entering into more competitive sports competitions, engage children through a wider variety of sports and offer training to staff to deliver in-house quality PE sessions.

The government provides funding to schools in order to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sports they offer. We receive £8,000 per year, plus an additional £5 per pupil in Years One to Six. This means that we receive approximately £10,000 a year. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provision.

We would prefer parents to make their own arrangements for taking children to sports events. However, if agreed with a member of staff, we may be able to provide transport in a car. On such rare occasions we expect parents to provide and fit a booster seat if necessary for the child. Here is the law regarding child car seats www.gov.uk/child-car-seats-the-rules which you may wish to check for clarity.
